NIGHTWALKER CAVERNS ESCAPE ROOM ADVENTURES
UNIVERSITY AVENUE LOCATION IS NOW OFFICIALLY “UNDONE”
After more than 10 years at our University Avenue venue and thousands of games, Nightwalker Caverns is moving. It was sad for us, but our final show at our current venue happened May 24, 2026.
When will the new location be DONE: Our move should be completed by July 1, 2026. Our new adventure games are in the buildout stage, and the new re-opening date will be announced soon -- best guesstimate August, 2026. We hope to have at least 3 games available by the end of the year. Keep an eye on our socials and you can sign up here for more details.
Where: Our new location is
5730 El Cajon Blvd., San Diego, CA 92115
Our new location will include only 1 of our current games, Krazy Eddie’s Funeral. The new location will be offering old favorites, but with new puzzles and concepts: Last Chance-2; Hotel Nocturnus 2; Gooneze 2; and Clownatorium 3. We will also be introducing 2 brand new games (themes are a secret).
Yes, but by popular request, we will be offering 1 game that is younger player friendly – but still challenging enough for adults.
Gift Certificates will still be valid at the new venue.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Seasoned Players – Very Hard
The TIME is now ... the PLACE is a mortuary in an old mansion. The reading of the Will is about to begin and you're a potential heir to a Vaudeville ventriloquist's fortune, a possessed dummy, and a magic lamp. You must remain for 90 minutes to claim the estate ... you might leave rich or just a dummy.
Picture, if you will, a ventriloquist named Krazinski Eddie. A master of the stage, a legend of Vaudeville... and a prisoner of his own success. They say his dummy, Krazy Eddie, has a life of his own. But the truth is far more sinister. You see, 150 years ago, an old brass lamp was opened at a funeral allowing a spirit trapped in the dummy to trade places with Krazinski. A soul...misplaced, but Krazinski isn’t dead. He is merely... waiting...trapped inside the wooden dummy... waiting for a blood relative to switch places with at the funeral. Through the marvels of modern DNA science, you have been identified as one of his last living descendants. You’ve come for an inheritance, a piece of the fortune left behind by a lonely old man in his final resting place...a mortuary in an old mansion.
But a word of caution to the greedy or the curious. Krazinski knows this is his last curtain call. He’s looking to trade places, to feel the warmth of flesh and blood once again. The reading of the Will is about to begin. The lamp is waiting. The dummy is watching. Enjoy the hospitality, claim your fortune if you can... but keep your wits about you -- or you might just end up being the dummy.
New Game Coming Soon!
Each puzzle bleeds its own truth. Take the WRONG TURN and you’ll join the puzzle ritual.

All players must sign an Accident Waiver and Release of Liability form before entering the premises.
All bookings are private -- we do not mix groups. If you book for less than the maximum number, we block out the other spots. If you want to bring additional Players, they can pay at the door and sign in with your group.
Your escape room adventure begins with a live actor briefing to set the scene. You will then be led into the escape room and the clock begins to run. If you get stuck -- don't stress! We allow Players as many clues as they want and need. However, if you came with friends and didn't escape, perhaps you should select different friends to bring with you if you want to try another room. Let's face it -- all of us have "some friends" who are fun -- but totally clueless. On a more serious note, we want you to have a great time -- and we want you to escape! Our focus is for Players to have a lot of fun -- our games are not designed to stump the Players!! Plan on spending about 75 - 120 minutes from the time you enter our facility.
Please be sure to arrive a few minutes in advance of your time! We offer both on-street and FREE off-street parking. Also, be sure to finish any food or drinks you may have with you as they are not permitted inside the escape room. If you're having a birthday party, we will be happy to assist you setting up your party after the show.
You will not be permitted to bring purses, jackets, backpacks, cell phones, electronic devices or cameras inside the escape room. Photography or recording of any kind is forbidden by players until after the game is completed. For players who do bring personal items into the facility, we provide a cart where all items must be placed and the cart is brought into the room with the players. The cart is in full view of all players during the time the escape room experience is occurring. Unlike other escape room facilities, you may take photos after the show inside the rooms. Please feel free to post your photos on Instagram, Facebook, Trip Advisor, etc. -- and be sure to tag us!! We believe our rooms are the Best San Diego escape room adventures, so we want you to share your photos with the world!!
NOTE: If you are going to arrive late, you must call us to make sure that your late arrival will not interfere with the next show. If you cancel without notice or cannot make it on time, no refund is permitted. However, we will permit you to re-book for another date and time.
Further, we hope you won't need to leave the escape room for any reason prior to the expiration of the time for the escape. If you do, the game will proceed without you, but you can re-join the game provided the other Players agree. No additional time is added to the game if a Player decides to leave the game for any reason.
Nightwalker Caverns has installed night vision security cameras inside the escape rooms and party area. Security cameras are also located in the common areas outside the building. By entering, players agree to being photographed and/or videotaped.
As a final note, when you leave the facility, please do not spoil the fun or intrigue of the game for other players by revealing answers to puzzles and clues..
Persons under 14 years cannot be booked into these San Diego escape rooms without contacting the management in advance. Please read additional warnings on the ABOUT tab before purchasing tickets.
Promotional offers are subject to date, time restrictions and availability.
